Who's Gonna Run Your Wild Horses

I love to buy running-gear. I have lots of running pants (the stretchy kind with the stripes up the side). I have lots of running shoes, all in a variety of purples. I especially love running-entertainment. Whenever I buy a new CD or mp3 player, it absolutely must have "anti-skip for running" features. It's quite the selling point for me. "I can use this for running? How wonderful! I'll take it!"

So here's the the thing. I've never gone running. Ever. Ok, ok, there was one time back in college, my ROTC roommate dragged me to an indoor track for company and I sat the bench after 1 lap.

I don't have any illusions about one day becoming a runner. I don't set my alarm for 6:00 every single morning (believing the night before that I will actually get up) and then decide to sleep in instead. I know that I'm a lazy person. I set my alarm for 8:30. So why can't I get this running-thing out of my head?

Just the other day, my brother gave me an ipod shuffle for my birthday, and the first thought to pop in my head when I opened it was, "Wow! This will be great for running!!"

Strangely enough, ME TOO! I live in my Nike's 85% of the year, and every time I buy a new pair, the question arises: "Can I run in these?" Clearly, we were meant to be friends - weird neurosis and all.
